McCain: "I have never seen such personal attacks"
....against Palin. Damn, he must be getting senile. Does he not remember a guy named John Kerry? What Palin is getting is petting compared to what they did to Kerry.

16. Government was essentially shut down for months ...



and hundreds of Millions of $$ were wasted on the partisan witch hunt in an attempt to smear both Clintons.

McLame was either not paying attention or perhaps he expects everyone else to be as delusional as he is.

agree
I could care less about her family....I think she uses that as a crutch against other criticism. The media didn't really go into the valid ethics complaints filed against her, and still lets her get away with saying repeatedly "We have been vindicated in all of the ethics investigations!", not mentioning the Branchflower findings. Also, "Our records show we have received no inquiries into the AIP." The media coverage she has gotten is mostly about her interviews, squirrely messaging/behavior. Plus, if her office was really pressed for time with all of these complaints against her, they still found time to pick a fight publically with a 17 year old? Please.

46. I'm sorry..the truth in what? I thought you wanted to know
what the OP was referring to.

It's just an example of McCain making a fool of himself (again).

27. They're not personal attacks - they're professional attacks. Big difference.
She is, measurably, incompetent and unqualified for political office. She is, demonstratively, a liar. She is, as reported by numerous political affiliates, a narcissistic diva.

Each one of these things is related to her public, political career and is supported by evidence.

30. How about Palin's attack against Obama?
You know, the ones that caused great concern for the Secret Service in the lead up to the presidential election? Or McCain's attacks against Chelsea Clinton whom, unlike Palin, was just a poor defenseless teenager staying out of the spotlight?

Goodness, I'm so glad we didn't get the blathering idiot in the White House. He'd be an embarrassment

31. And what about John and Sarah's attacks on Obama?
Painting him as a terrorist loving non-christian. Going along with people yelling..."Kill Him" in the crowd at their political meetings last year. McCain finally scolded a lady in the crowd after weeks of baiting the right wing crazies.

34. let's not forget
58,343,671 Americans, give or take a few chads and electrons, voted for him and Barracuda to head the Nation. It's not enough to make fun of him and be outraged by his cluelessness. We have to keep fighting to educate all the Americans that think these folks were worthy of high office.

Edited on Sun Jul-12-09 01:26 PM by MadMaddie
his own family and he stood by and let Rove and * attempt to destroy his own family.

McCain could have stopped these kind of attack by simply standing up to Rove and the neocon machine but he didn't.

It boggles my mind did the Republicans really think that having a pregant unwed teen in the spotlight would simply be accepted? And then to top it off Palin parades her daughter and her boyfriend as engaged and it wasn't even close to the truth.

The Repug always want exceptions when it comes to their own lives.
